Marine Surveying Correspondence Diploma Courses

The International Institute of Marine Surveying as the professional body for marine surveying, recognises the need to promote the profession and the professionals within it to the highest level.

In collaboration with the University of Portsmouth we have developed a range of Diplomas that will provide students with the underpinning knowledge and skills that can provide a lead into a BSc (Hons) Degree and MSc Course in Maritime Studies.

The Diploma programme allows you to decide when and how long you want to study. If you travel, you can take the modules with you to continue studying and make good use of travelling time.

The benefits of studying with the Institute is that you become a Student Member of the Institute whilst training and you can therefore participate in all Institute activities, including one day courses, seminars and conferences.

The IIMS is an independent, non-political organisation that aims to advance the reputation of international marine surveying by:

• Promoting professionalism & the advancement of knowledge in the profession of marine surveying
• Maintaining high professional standards decreed in a Code of Conduct
• Recognition from Government Organisations
• Putting into practice the high standards of the Institute
• Conferring professional status on those who contribute to and encourage safety
• Bringing together experts
• Organising and evaluating the training of future marine surveyors
